Parsippany teacher seeks funds to mail packages to Pakistan

DAILY RECORD

PARSIPPANY -- The 30 boxes are packed and ready to go. They are filled with warm coats, blankets, sleeping bags, hats and scarves collected for the millions of Pakistanis left homeless after a devastating earthquake three months ago.

But the care packages are in limbo, stuck in a Parsippany High School teacher's storage room.

Despite attempts to donate to nine relief agencies, from the Red Cross to Save the Children, English teacher Dianne Feula hasn't found any organization willing to ship the items for them."
